VIDEO: Irish kids try to sing the American national anthem

Let’s be honest. A certain amount of mumbling goes on at matches around Ireland every time our glorious national anthem is rolled out.

So asking Irish kids to discuss and sing America's Star Spangled Banner may have been doomed to failure from the outset.

Nonetheless, the brave kids at YouthTuber do their best.

All had heard of the anthem, but many struggled to call it by its rightful name, with suggestions ranging from Riverdance and Bar Stangled Spammer to simply the American National Anthem.

Similarly, when questioned as to the author of the song, Billy Bob Joe and Big Hero Six to Abraham Lincoln and Beyonce all featured.

Some atrocious yet hilarious attempts to sing the anthem follow (for any agents out there though, one singer in particular is actually really good).

"I don't know the rest … me too… And the land of the free! USA! USA!"

Ah bless, fair dues to them for trying anyway.

Unsurprisingly, most of the kids preferred the Irish national anthem.

The Irish national anthem sounds like the Star Wars tune
